Business Resilience

As a provider of essential services, we have established programmes to ensure our operations are prepared to cope with unusual disruptions.

The goal of this proactive approach is to keep our business and operations running effectively, safely and securely. We continually seek to improve the agility and competitiveness of our businesses, improving the lives of people who rely on AES for electricity. AES UK & Ireland has developed a comprehensive playbook with the following plans: Business Continuity, Cybersecurity, Physical Asset and Personnel Security, Crisis Communication, Stakeholder Engagement and Succession.

Our approach includes continual monitoring of weather systems; staging of resources prior to anticipated emergencies; mobilisation to restore outages; clear and frequent communications with customers, the media and government officials; continuous improvement of our emergency response capabilities; and collaboration with neighbouring businesses, contractors, communities and government officials.
